Fab the spacers but didn't have time to install them. I will more than likely install tomorrow and see if that changes anything.


Clem,
 I really like the dana 20 as well. The reason I really haven't totally made up my mind on what t-case to go with is due to the non-wheeling area I live in. I live in South Central Louisiana, which is all flat ground. The most crawling I'm able to do is in a rice field over very small hills (man made). I joined a local jeep club here in town but they are not very well put together. There idea of fun is dressing up in the worst clothes you can find at thrift store and riding aroud town to all the Sonic Drive-Ins. Not my idea of fun!! The closet place is about 4 Hrs. away, and it seems like evry time I get an invite I'm taking calls that weekend at work. So.....with all that said I still don't know what type of wheeling a really like. i want to build a rig that could handle crawling and mudding until I can myn wife FINALLY graduates from college and we move to Texas.

Also, I forgot to mention, check the tranny mount as well. I would have to agree that they don't have a clue about jeep clubs there...

Crawling and mudding take two dissimilar types of build. Mud is about wheel speed. Crawling is going slow.

I thought about that too, but I ahd recently changed that around Easter. Do you think an axle shim would help?
I guess right now I want to keep not to fast not to slow but install things that would benift me during crawling. Even though I haven't done any real crawling yet I have a feeling that's what I would like. The carwash by my house has taken entirely to many quaters out of my change bucket.

An axle shim would make things worse. With a standard drive shaft, both ends have to be at the same angle. If you had a CV shaft, yes.

Crawling is fun. That is the direction I am going with my build up.

Good to know. I installed the t-case spacers at lunch today so I'm curious to see the change. Crawling is direction i eventuelly want to go. Never done it but get pumped atching and reading about it. I want to make my rig a crwler one day, I'm just trying not to install things that could hinder that but rather build off of to make better.
